could you dump out anything that showed up in /var/log/messages (at
the end of it) or relevant things at the end of "dmesg" output?
Could you also include the contents of your /proc/mdstat?
Could you also include the contents of your /etc/raidtab?

I actually don't remember whether that kernel was patched or unpatched,
and I've never done linear mode so I'm not sure there's a huge difference
(although using old mdtools vs. new raidtools is one obvious one)
